EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic Scottish author, Samuel Smiles, at the age of 58, in the year 1870. Born on March 13, 1812, in Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland, Smiles is best known for his groundbreaking self-help book, "Self-Help," published in 1859. With a twinkle in his eye and a warm, inviting smile, Smiles exudes a sense of wisdom and determination that resonated with readers for generations. The image, taken in 1904, shows Smiles in profile, with his right elbow resting on a table and his left hand supporting his chin. His whiskers, neatly trimmed and meticulously groomed, frame his face, adding to his distinguished appearance. The photograph, a testament to the enduring influence of Smiles' work, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated himself to inspiring others to better themselves through hard work, perseverance, and self-improvement. "Self-Help," which sold over 20,000 copies in its first year of publication, became a bestseller and a cultural phenomenon. Smiles' message of personal responsibility and self-reliance struck a chord with the Victorian public, who were seeking guidance in a rapidly changing world. The book, which drew on a wide range of historical and contemporary examples, became a touchstone for the self-help genre and continues to inspire readers today. This photograph, a precious relic of a bygone era, serves as a reminder of the enduring power of Smiles' message and the impact he had on the lives of countless individuals. With his warm smile and steady gaze, Smiles continues to offer guidance and encouragement to anyone seeking to improve themselves and make the most of their lives.
